TOY REVIEW: She’s Black, with a little blue…
On a gray rainy afternoon when a sleepy sensuality suffuses one’s senses, taking matters into your own hands and finding a singular pleasure is never a poor choice. On this recent afternoon, I was looking forward to an intimate moment with the latest arrival to my sex toy collection, a bodacious blue borosilicate beauty.
My first review item sits on a bed-adjacent windowsill. The Devine ToyBox, (about which I recently shared) already holds a few delicious secrets.
Although, to be honest, they will not be secret for long.
This afternoon I’d be conversing intimately wth an anal toy, the Cobalt Blue Bubble Plug from Don Wand.
I know, I know, very punny. But before you roll your eyes at the silly name, know that it ain’t just the name that will get your eyes rolling.
The Cobalt Blue Bubble Plug is packaged in a cunning padded bag, whose velvety exterior enrobes your gorgeous glass toy in a few inches of protective padding. The folks at Don Wand have made it easy to keep this toy protected and safe from the slings and arrows of shipping and toybox indignities. The drawstring is easily held shut with an integrated clip. and the pouch is perfectly sized, naturally, so it remains compact amongst your other personal delights.
Please indulge my aesthetic obsession with this…this anal plug. I love holding the toy. The heaviness, slickness, ergonomically seductive curves, lines, planes and surfaces can lead me to simply enjoy hefting it and rolling it between my palms. The cobalt is much darker than in the photo here. It is more a Midnight blue, and even in bright sunlight remains darkly mysterious and alluring and just fucking PRETTY!
Don Wand, take me away!
I am fortunate that we receive sex toys at work on a fairly regular basis, so there are no recriminations if I sit at my desk, mousing with one hand and idly twirling a cool blue anal toy in the other.
Yep, that pretty much fucking rules.
There are many reasons that people love glass toys.
The unyielding nature of the glass makes you pay very strict attention to what you are doing while playing with it. There is no bending there, nosiree. You will be the one accommodating the toy, not the other way around.
I happen to like a strong-willed toy. A lot.
For those of us squeamish about bio-terrorism of the Down Theres, a glass toy is a Goddessend. Borosilicate glass is the same stuff of which Pyrex© is made. Glass isn’t porous. Being non-porous, ain’t no weensy nubbins, micro-fissures or pores in which evils can lurk. I love that. Of all of the evils I have to endure, those which are avoidable are the ones that strike with the mightiest power. A sudden-onset sex-toy fueled yeast infection, UTI or anal fissure due to some persistent tinyscarymonster clinging tenaciously to a plastic or synthetic toy is so NOT on my agenda. I’ll pass, thanks.
Being made of glass, it can be warmed or cooled and that very much shifts the sensation. Setting the Cobalt Plug in a bowl of ice water before applying a few drops of lube onto the tip, and watching the lubricant slip oozily down the midnight blue glass before you apply it to the waiting clasping secret between the cheeks of your bottom will secure and maintain your attention. The toy then quickly aligns with the temperature of the body, and becomes less of a shivery point of attention and more a ubiquitous, fulfilling, wonderful hardness.
The same holds true with a preemptive soak in a bowl of warm water; it can feel like a preternaturally rigid but oddly comforting invasion when the heated flare shoulders its way past your anus, which is, of course, valiantly striving to accept this gleaming glassy adventure.
When playing with temperature, be sure to test the comfort level on your inner wrist or on your lip. You do not want to injure yourself in the throes of temperature play enthusiasm!
I thoroughly enjoy this toy warmed up. The lubricant coats it perfectly, the heat is surprising, and delightfully different, being slightly above body temperature. The first couple of inches make it in fairly easily, with the resistance increasing gently as the angle of the flare increases. there is a momentary sigh of relief as the muscles slip closer to normalcy once they reach the shoulder of the initial flange.
Not so fast. Ya got that bubble part coming up next, and that isn’t such a gentle curve.
That is more challenging, and the tip of the toy has started to reach in deeper, igniting some interesting peristaltic actions that really aren’t looking to assist insertion. But you are determined, dammit, so you take a deep breath and another little bit..slips…in.
I found it was fucking amazing to twist the toy on the way in, and it eased the transition form the neck to the “bubble” of the plug. It was tougher to get past the thick bubble, and I sighed with a feeling of accomplishment once the second notch of the plug was at rest at my sphincter.
It was a leeeeetle short for me, though, that last bit. Even after a few minutes of relaxing, rocking and muscular manipulations, I found myself wishing that the bottom “neck” of the dildo, the step between the flare and the base, was at least a half inch longer.
But I am nothing if not resourceful. A slight adjustment to my position, a pillow under the small of my back to tilt my pelvis and voilà. The plug is held in against the bed and all is right with the world.
OK not the entire world but the world as far as I care for now.
A slow rocking is enough to start me in on a series of deep-rooted full-bodied nape of-the-neck-tingling orgasms. I’m pretty easy that way. I love the sensation of being stuffed full, even slightly uncomfortably. and at just about 5″ long and about 1.5″ in diameter at the widest point, it was perfect for me. A more practiced anal player might scoff at this averaged sized toy, so if you are accustomed to being fisted regularly, this might be a pop-in-warm-up toy for you.
While I was coming down from the first wave of orgasms I wondered what it might be like to get that toy a little more active. My Wahl Vibrator, which lives in the crevice at the top of my bed, was fired up and I used it to apply vibrations to the end of the Cobalt Plug.
OK, FUCK YEAH.
It was all I could do to to coordinate my hand sufficiently to hold it against the plug. It was amazing. Subtle, insistent, resonant. Well, it was subtle on the low setting. It was more intense of the higher setting and I came again, bearing down in order to avoid turning the toy into a skittering projectile.
I know that there are physiological reasons why anal orgasms are different from vaginal ones, but I do not feel like getting into that right now.
What I DO feel like getting into right now is a hot bath with a few candles, the Cobalt Plug, and a good hour uninterrupted to explore even more possibilities.
I highly recommend the Don Wand Cobalt Blue Bubble plug. Its gorgeous sleek functionality and highly sanitary composition make it an all around delight!
Peace
